Tako

Setsu & Shinobu Ito + Leonardo Mercurio

Description

"TAKO" means "kite" in Japanese, and this sofa combines a light image of flying into the sky in a dream with a solid comfort. As an expression of relaxation, the design language geometrically captures the Japanese tool "magewappa" that has a softness and solidity. It expresses the emphasis on softness, the geometric contrast between squares and circles, and the coexistence of rationality and passion. The TAKO sofa is characterized by the use of a three-dimensionally curved wooden frame for the backrest, which is a key element of the entire TAKO collection. It is a design piece that emphasizes the craft elements of human technique while combining industrial elements with high production efficiency, and is an optimized combination of human wisdom and industrial knowledge in a middle area that is neither industrial nor craft.
